Some kinds of energy can be used again and again. Other kinds cannot. The sun gives new energy each day, so solar power is renewable. Coal and oil will run out someday, but sunlight keeps coming.
Based on the passage, what is the meaning of renewable?
- used up completely and unable to come back
- able to be replaced naturally over time (correct answer)
- stored away and saved for later days
- shared between many people at once
Explanation: The passage says the sun gives new energy each day, so solar power keeps coming back and can be replaced naturally over time. That is what renewable means. "Used up completely and unable to come back" is the opposite of renewable, and it actually describes coal and oil, which will run out someday. "Stored away and saved for later days" sounds close, but the passage says the sun gives new energy each day, not that energy is saved up. "Shared between many people at once" talks about who uses the energy, not whether it can be made again, so it does not match the meaning of renewable.
